Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Pleas, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers the plea stage in criminal cases in England, where a defendant may decide to plead guilty or not guilty and negotiate with the CPS about charges and sentence. A solicitor practicing in pleas advises at every stage, represents the client at Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court plea hearings, handles bail applications, and presents mitigation to the court. They gather evidence, review disclosure, and coordinate with experts or witnesses to support the chosen path.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

They identify viable pleas, assess the strength of the prosecution case, and advise on potential sentence outcomes and defences. They draft and lodge plea explanations, request further disclosure if needed, negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service, arrange pre-sentence reports or specialist assessments, and coordinate mitigation to secure the best possible outcome. They accompany the client to hearings, cross-examine where appropriate, and manage timelines for disposition and appeal if required.

Michelle Breindel

Tagged solicitor Michelle Breindel

Michelle Breindel defended me when I was in big trouble. Michelle was efficient , knowledgable and courteous. I was facing a adjournment to crown court and even an immediate prison sentence. But I only received a suspended sentence and the matter was dealt with that day. I would recommend Michelle to anybody who finds theirselves in trouble with the criminal justice system . Thanks Jason Roberts

Digby Johnson

Tagged solicitor Digby Johnson

I just wanted to sincerely thank Digby for representing me at crown court in a very stressful and difficult time. His professionalism and compassionate approach resulted in a better outcome than I'd experienced. Also to all the staff from The Johnson Partnership who I dealt with through my case. Thank you all.

Lindsay McKinnie

Tagged solicitor Lindsay McKinnie

This was my first time of having to use a solicitor in a courtroom situation. Thank goodness I was represented by Lindsay !! Her council to me prior to my interview and then before court was invaluable. She didn’t in anyway sugar coat and was very direct in managing our expectations. In court she was a force of nature she delivered a total accurate account of the situation that I am in defending me but not avoiding silly mistakes that I have made when my heart has ruled my head. That said at all times using these actions by way of mitigation. We were both surprised at the positive outcome and I can only attract that to Lindsay’s professionalism , tenacity her concern for my mental and emotional well-being which the judges and prosecutor took on board. I cannot rate Lindsay highly enough and if ever there was a partnership opportunity she would get my vote. Thanks Lindsay
